Nigel,
I'm sorry to hear of your experience.
I'm a great fan of making changes in small steps, measuring the effect of the changes, and always having a previous state to go back to if a new regimen proves unsuccessful. I think that while a PwP is looking for a new stable regimen, changes need to be made frequently, perhaps weekly. Waiting the typical 6 months between consultations means that some PwP may never get close to an optimal treatment.
John
